Pet Pantry

Baxter’s Pet Pantry operated by Long Island Cares, Inc. – The Harry Chapin Food Bank, which was developed in partnership with
the Animal Relief Fund Inc. (ARF), makes free pet food supplied by ARF and many pet food corporations available to pet-owning families in need in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York.

Initiated as a result of 2009 media coverage of families putting their pets up for adoption as a result of not being able to afford pet food, veterinary care and other services, the Pet Pantry also offers toys, pet clothes and other pet supplies. Free pet food is available to pet owners through many of our local member agency food pantries.

Long Island Cares, Inc. is very grateful to our corporate partners at PETCO and Pet Supplies Plus for their very generous monthly donations of pet food
and toys to Baxter’s Pet Pantry. You can support our pet pantry by visiting any one of PETCO’s stores on Long Island where you can purchase a dog or cat pet gift bag, or any pet food which are all donated to Long Island Cares.
